Publisher's Synopsis
"[A] delightful romp through the Mets' greatest days . . . a splendid portrayal of unforgettable history embedded in the hearts and souls of Mets fans." -Ed Randall, host, Ed Randall's Talking Baseball
In 1969, the New York Mets took on a nickname that was certainly fitting for that season-the "Miracle Mets." But even beyond 1969, there have been numerous moments in the history of the Mets that have proven miraculous, from the pitcher's mound to the batter's box and from the regular season to the playoffs.
In Miracle Moments in New York Mets History, Brett Topel details the team's greatest achievements, from the Mets' first win in franchise history in 1962, to Tom Seaver's near-perfect game in 1969, the 1986 World Series, the trade for Mike Piazza, Al Leiter's two-hitter during the 1999 one-game playoff, Jacob deGrom's 2015 All-Star Game appearance, and much more. In doing so, Topel highlights the key players and coaches and reveals the high level of excitement that comes with being a Mets fan. Complete with full-color photos, this book is an amazin' read for fans young and old.
